Well, last chapter was a sudden development; I wonder what Ice Prince Finn is going to plan for Ooo. Unless the land of Ooo has changed, it's been a while since I have watched Adventure Time. So, I hope you guys like this chapter. Also, this story takes place during the period of Finn and Flame Princess dating. This story is also set before Simon's wife comes to Ooo. I forgot which episode it was. It's been so long since i have updated, i have lost track of this show. So, i am sorry for not updating as much as i can.

Chapter 3: Finn's plan
Marceline looked out at the sky as a lot of thoughts came through her skull.
Simon was alive and she was happy for it, however a new problem was racing forward. Finn was now wearing the crown of the Ice King. What had made Simon crazy was now doing the same thing to Finn. Marceline had to find some way of fixing this problem before it would get too serious. She looked over seeing that Simon had walked up to her.
"You are worried too" Simon announced as he looked at his old friend "You have grown so much"
"I am glad to see you are still alive, Simon" Marceline hugged him, but was careful not to hug him too much.
"I am just so glad to have my sanity back. This robe is a little too much, but i am sure to grow into it" Simon chuckled as he was carrying around an IV for his body. It felt like he was carrying an oversized cane.
"Yo, Marceline, Yo..."Jake said as he stared at the crown less, beardless Ice King. Jake had known who Simon was due to Marceline, yet he still felt awkward about talking to him. He soon received the 'what do you want' look from the vampire queen.
"Umm, PB wants you and Simon to go over to the main hall. Something about Simon's condition" Jake said
Marceline looked at Simon as they both nodded and left Jake to stare at the window. Simon could tell that Finn's absence really upset the shape-shifting animal.
"So, i have analyzed the cells in your body and the tests show that you are still active" Princess Bubblegum said wearing glasses and her scientist attire.
"What does that mean" Marceline said with her arms crossed.
"The crown's influence might had deteriorated my mind, but i can assume from these charts that my body wasn't keeping up with it. So, the crown forced my body to age much slowly than expected. So, it might have caused it to stand still in time. Now, that i am a racial person again, It would be as if i never wore the crown. I am guessing this IV is to help along in regaining my body's functions again" Simon spoke out
Princess Bubblegum was shocked at Simon's knowledge of the situation. She coughed to remain her composure.
"That is corrected" Princess Bubblegum fixed her glasses
"The problem that we must face now is the crown's influence on this other human in which you guys call Finn" Simon said to them.
"Correct" Princess Bubblegum smiled
"I can assure you that Finn is okay, but we need to think of a way to remove that crown from him" Simon pondered on the thought of removing the crown.
"Yea" Jake had rushed into the room. "We knock that crown off you all the time"
"Yes, but it seems that the crown wanted Finn for some reason" Simon told the group.
"Wait, why" Princess Bubblegum was interested in hearing that reason.
"Because Finn is stronger and younger than i am. It would only be natural that Finn's powers over the crown would be twice as powerful" Simon rubbed his chin
"We can just take the crown away from him" Marceline said.
"It's not that simple Marceline. I think the crown would assure that it will stay with Finn" Simon looked at them for a moment.
"What you are saying about the crown, it's as if you are saying that the crown is..." Jake raised a brow.
"Sentient" Both Princess Bubblegum and Simon looked at one another. They looked away feeling the awkwardness in their voices. Marceline looked at the both of them.
"I know how sentient that thing was. Always asking me to put it on or to do whatever it wanted. I don't even know what i did while i wore the crown. Pleases tell me i didn't harm anyone while i wore it" Simon looked at Jake as the dog tried to ease the situation, but wasn't doing his best.
"Oh dear glob" Simon huddled himself as he was glad that he didn't have the memory of it, but still felt bad for all the pain and suffering he has caused.
"It's okay Simon" Marceline gave a big hug to her old friend.
"So, how do we plan on stopping Finn, who knows what he could cook up" Jake said
"OH, MY OLD FRIENDS, IT IS NICE TO MEET YOU ONCE MORE IN A DIFFERENT FORM" A voice blew the doors to the entrance of the Candy Castle.
Marceline, Simon, Jake and Princess Bubblegum turned their heads to see the new Ice King entering the room, however because of how they know him, they will just call him Finn. Jake attempted to charge on his brother, however how could he strike him since they have been together for so long. Fin merely waved his hand and Jake was covered completely in ice. Ice King Finn slid out of the water as the frozen Jake was like an iceberg. The others stood their guard.
"You fight me when i came here peacefully, and they called the Candy Kingdom the peaceful land in Ooo" Ice King Finn laughed
"What do you want" Princess Bubblegum decreed. She knew in some part of that crown, Finn was still there, yet she had to act like a ruler in times of danger.
"I came here to speak of peace and to strike a deal" Ice King Finn smirked
"What kind of deal, weenie" Marceline crossed her arms
"The deal that will involve me removing myself from Finn. You do want your pathetic human back don't you?" Ice King Finn laughed
"It's a trick" Simon shouted before he felt his mouth was being covered with ice.
Marceline and Princess Bubblegum turned to Simon and then glared their eyes at Finn, who was still laughing.
"What is this deal?" Princess Bubblegum asked
"Well, this is how this deal will go" Ice King Finn made small ice figurines of Finn and various people. "I will leave Finn alone and return him to normal, if you and the other Princesses and lords swear your allegiance to the Ice Kingdom"
"What" Both the Vampire Queen and the Princess of the Candy Kingdom were shocked at the new Ice King's demands.
"That's all you have to do, or do you want the Candy Kingdom to turn into the cold capital of the world" Ice King Finn smirked as he summoned an ice chair and sat down. His hand glowed with ice as he smirked "What will it be my princess"
Princess Bubblegum was at a loss for words. It was either her kingdom or the return of one of her greatest friends. Rulers had a lot of tough choices to make. The Ice King Finn was getting very impatient, but he thought of a better way.
"I can clearly see you are having cold feet about this decision. So, how about this then. You arrange a meeting of the Princesses and Lords of every Kingdom in the land of Ooo. I will come as well to oversee it. I will give you about one week. If you do put it all together. I take off my crown. If not, then everything in this world except your kingdom will be covered in ice, and every king, queen, princess, and prince will blame you for it" Ice King Finn laughed.
Suddenly, The Ice King Finn held his head as he was struggling to keep himself calm. Simon noticed the struggles of the Ice King a little too well.
"That will be all for now" Ice King Finn stood up. He saw all the banana guards surrounding him. He swirled around until his body became smaller snowflakes and created himself into a giant ice tornado. He flew to the entrance and escaped through the front door.
"FIND HIM" Princess Bubblegum ordered the banana guard to chase after Finn. Once they left, Princess Bubblegum freed Simon's mouth from the ice, while Marceline broke Jake out of the ice that he was stuck in.
"There is no way we can beat him" Jake exclaimed
"Yeah, it seems that Finn is a step ahead" Marceline looked at Simon and Princess Bubblegum.
Princess Bubblegum felt conflicted in her decision wondering how she was going to gather all the lords and princesses to come together to sell their allegiance to the new Ice King. The last thing she wanted was a war on her kingdom. She could fight one or two kingdoms but all of the kingdoms against hers would overwhelm the Candy Kingdom regardless of her genius and defenses.
"There might be a chance that we could save Finn" Simon smirked as he looked at the trail of ice.
"How so" Marceline and Jake spoke up
"When i saw Finn talking to you guys, i noticed he was having horrible headaches, like i use to have while fighting control over the control. Maybe it's because of Finn's heuristic nature that he is fighting over control. It's much like how the body fights off infections and sickness" Simon chuckled analyzing the situation.
"So, how does this help us get Finn back?" Jake questioned
"Well, my canine companion, i think if we did more like what we just did and fight Finn; maybe...just maybe it will be enough for him to break free of the crown's control" Simon smiled
Jake felt proud that there was a chance that Finn could be normal again. Marceline put her hand on Simon's shoulder "So, what's the plan?"
"Well, i think Princess Bubblegum should invite the princess and lords to this little meeting, while Marcy and Jake gather up people that could fight off Finn" Simon looked at his old friend and winked
"What about you" Marceline asked Simon
"I figured i might help arrange some things with Princess Bubblegum" Simon offered as Princess Bubblegum was shocked that she would be working with someone who was as smart as she was. She felt very flattered.
"Alright then" Simon continued as he collected his hand to everyone else's.
"Wak Wak" Gunter said
"Not now Gunter, daddy needs to sleep for the moment" Ice King Finn said as he made his way to the bedroom and laid on the ice.
Gunter waddled inside the bedroom and groaned "Wak Wak"
"Gunter, such lanuage. I am your father and you will do as i say"
"Wak Wak" Gunter crossed his arms.
"Are you defying me Gunter" Ice King Finn stood from his bed. The other penguins feared as they looked at their traitorous brother defying their leader. Ice King Finn looked at the penguins and saw the angry penguin that was disobeying him.
"I am not made at you, Gunter. I am just made that someone defies me" Ice King Finn smiled. He lowered himself down to Gunter and smirked. "Daddy needs to make an example of you to show your brothers and sisters what happens when you defy my orders"
Finn slowly touched Gunter making him shiver with fear feeling something strange inside of him. "BURRPPPPPPP"
The other Gunters looked at one another feeling relieved that Finn did nothing. "WWWAAAAKKKKKK WWWWAKKKKKKKKKK"
The Gunters looked back seeing their penguin brother was going through a bone-crushing metaphosis into something else. Something that wasn't a penguin. "WAAAAKKKK WWWWAAAKKKKK"
Soon, Gunter saw his flippers were turned into paws, his feet were turned into paws as well. Gunter even felt teeth were growing inside of his mouth. "WAAAAKKKKK OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
The other Gunters waddled away. The Gunter looked in the ice mirror seeing he wasn't a penguin anymore but an ice wolf. Suddenly, seven more just like him joined in the room. Ice King Finn smirked.
"I am sorry i had to do this to you, Gunter, But this was for your own good. Daddy has a special mission for you all" Ice King Finn showed a picture of goblins "I need to you to go to the villages where these creatures lie and i need you to bite them. It will only work on them though. You bite them only once and no more. No more will your names be Gunter. From now on, your names will be Hunter."
Ice King Finn saw the wolves jumping out the window and scaling off the walls of the Ice Kingdom to the soft snow where they were tracking the scent of each goblin that was either passing through or in their little villages.
"Oh, this will be my best plan ever" Ice King Finn smiled hearing the terrors of goblins nearby.
Wow, that took a dark turn. I mean that really went dark.
Anyways, what did you think of the chapter?
I really liked this chapter since we will learn how Finn will conduct his plan. I mean he could do anything at this point, but next chapter will be a little bonding moment between Simon and Princess Bubblegum.
So, until then, see you all later.
